Method
- Wash the peaches thoroughly under cold water. Peel the peaches using a vegetable peeler or paring knife.
- Slice the peaches into thin wedges, about 1/4 inch thick, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the sliced peaches and add lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the peaches.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Let the refrigerated pie crusts sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Unroll one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing gently into the bottom and sides.
- Pour the peach filling into the crust, distributing evenly and leaving behind excess juice.
- Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
- Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Cut slits for a lattice pattern if desired.
- Trim excess dough, fold edges under, and crimp to seal.
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
- Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch drips.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours.
- Slice the cooled pie into wedges and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
